I actually have this setup. On the board, one GMAC is connected to a
DSA switch using a fixed-link and the other using the PCS such as added
by this series.
From what I see, indeed, the mac_link_up() function is called before
stmmac_hw_setup(). This does not seems to have any effect on my setup
(except making it working of course) but I agree this is clearly not
ideal.
What I could do is adding a function in the miic pcs driver that could
be called from my rzn1 stmmac probe function to actually configure the
PCS at probe time based on the detected "phy-mode". Does that seems
better to you ?
Thanks,
